We launched the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention in February last year, weeks before the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in South Africa. The Intervention includes a range of priority actions to boost youth employment over the next 5 years. https://t.co/6sPOAJMH0K — PolitiTweet.org

As government we are driving a number of initiatives, some of which began before the pandemic. Although we have had to adjust our plans, we will not go back on our commitments. https://t.co/cZ8HYdY5Iz — PolitiTweet.org

It is the singular focus of this administration to ensure that young people are given access to opportunities so they can better themselves, that they can drive change in their communities, and contribute to our economy. https://t.co/dOdZmZCHo3 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Right now, our economy is suffering from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. A situation that was already bad, has gotten worse. We are putting young people at the centre of our national recovery. https://t.co/dOdZmZCHo3 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Young people are the force that drives a country and grows its economy. Young people are a source of innovation and new ideas. Young people have energy and talent. Young people are resilient and never give up, even when it is difficult. #YouthDay https://t.co/dOdZmZCHo3 — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 64% of young people in South Africa are unemployed. This is something no country can afford. #YouthDay https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
South Africa is an infinitely better place than it was in 1976. Young people have opportunities that were denied to their parents and grandparents. And yet we know that our challenges today are many. #YouthDay https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We salute them. We owe our liberation to them, and to the many others who sacrificed so we could all be free today. https://t.co/A361lQyc1H — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When many of our leaders were jailed or exiled, it was young people who showed the world that freedom is not given, but it is taken. #YouthDay https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The young South Africans of 1976 spurred an international movement for the isolation of the apartheid regime. They lit a fire of resistance that the racist government of Pretoria would not be able to extinguish, no matter how hard they tried. https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We remember Hector Pieterson, Tsietsi Mashinini, Mbuyisa Makhubo, Sibongile Mthembu-Mkhabela, Murphy Morobe, Zweli Sizane, Seth Mazibuko and the many other heroes of the 1976 uprising. #YouthDay https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org

On June 16th and in the days that followed, many young people lost their lives. Others were forced into hiding and exile. #YouthDay https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They were taking a stand against a cruel and unjust system. They were rebelling against Bantu Education, which, despite its name, was no education at all. It was another tool of the apartheid system to keep black South Africans in perpetual servitude. https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
On this day forty-five years ago, brave young women and men in Soweto and other parts of our country rose up against injustice. Unarmed, and in their school uniforms, they came out in their numbers, shouting ‘down with Afrikaans.’ #YouthDay https://t.co/3Hg3HktE3z — PolitiTweet.org

We have shown that we have the means and the will to fight this virus. And I am more confident than ever that we will succeed. God bless South Africa and protect her people. — PolitiTweet.org

We will not be daunted by the size or the complexity of the task before us. We can now see a path towards overcoming this pandemic. But there is still much that we need to do. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
After all the time that has passed, after everything we have experienced, after everything we have done & achieved as a nation, these words still ring true. We have endured so much as a nation and we have prevailed. We will not be overwhelmed by uncertainty, fear or despondency. — PolitiTweet.org

15 months ago, as I addressed the nation from the Union Buildings, I said: “This epidemic will pass. “But it is up to us to determine how long it will last, how damaging it will be, and how long it will take our economy and our country to recover. — PolitiTweet.org

While it must be our unwavering determination to ensure that no health care workers are infected, this is a significant reduction in infections, which can be attributed to the success of the first phase of our vaccination programme. This is evidence that vaccines work. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In the last seven days, only 64 health care workers have been infected. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we see the rate of infection rise across the country, there is one statistic that provides a reason for hope. At a similar point in the rise of the 2nd wave of infections in early December last year, there were 640 health care workers infected by COVID-19 over a 7 day period. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I call on everyone else, if you know someone over 60 years of age who has not been vaccinated, please help them to register and get vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I therefore call on every person in this country over the age of 60 to register – whether online, by SMS, by phone or in person – and get vaccinated without delay. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is estimated that we have the capacity at present to vaccinate at least 150,000 people a day, and we are planning to increase that to 250,000 a day as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Now that the delays in the supply of vaccines is largely resolved, our immediate task is to complete the vaccination of all those over 60 years of age without delay. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The initial doses we receive from Johnson & Johnson will be used to vaccinate educators in our schools and thereafter security personnel on the frontline. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have received an indication from Johnson & Johnson that it expects to deliver around 2 million vaccines to South Africa by the end of the month. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The company has committed to significantly ramp up production and begin supplying the country within the next few days. We have to date received nearly 2.4 million Pfizer vaccine doses. By the end of June, we expect to have received a total of 3.1 million Pfizer doses. — PolitiTweet.org
